RE: Weighing Options

With that skill set you should be able to find some kind of enjoyable way to make money!

Sounds like deep down you want to be doing something creative - you need to find something which fuses all of the above and then use the marketing skills to sell it.

You can always fall back on the copy editing as a part time see you through, that sounded like the most feasible thing in the short term, which would actually pay and maybe isn't that time consuming!

Hey, @revisesociology.

Thanks for the input. It's helpful seeing what others get out of my thinking outloud. :)

re: skill set

You would think so, wouldn't you? The hard part for me has always been finding the way to make any of that lucrative on my own.

re: deep down

Yeah, not so deep down, but I keep thinking I have these stories popping into my head and yelling at me for a reason.

re: copy editing

The editing idea in the meantime is a pretty sound one. As I said, I'm not formerly trained. I could learn whatever style I needed to, though, fairly quickly, too, I would think.

I guess time consuming would depend on what I was editing. Some projects and authors, obviously, will require more time than others.
